From a reader who is a computer professional:

Totally lame: the sleazy sales guy at Best Buy who took advantage of my 70-year old mother who came in to look at computers. She said she likes to play computer games so you sold her an expensive, souped-up gamer machine and told her that she had to have it because anything else would be obsolete in a year. And she should buy it now because the price was going up and it was a great price because it was the last one in stock.

That computer game this little old lady likes to play is Microsoft solitaire. She also sends a few emails and looks up houses for sale on the internet. That’s the extent of her computer use.

Unfortunately, my mom lives several thousand miles away or I would have been with her. She lives on social security. There is a special place in hell for sleazy sales folks who take advantage of old people.
